To my beloved Supernatural Fandom: Get a fucking grip! (A pissed off blog.)
When I started watching Supernatural, I was the only one in my whole circle of people who watches that show, as it was a small show on one of the channels that airs mostly American stuff, but since SPN was new then – 2007 – they aired it in dead times (1pm and 7pm) and I only watched it out of curiosity, didn’t know what it was about, but seeing the 'Supernatural' logo got me, and I started watching, I don’t remember exactly but Phantom Traveler was one of the first episodes I've watched.
And it took me a year and a half or two after finishing season one to get back to the show, when the same channel (Dubai One) aired season two. But I couldn’t bear to watch it on a weekly basis knowing that season four was almost done in the US. I started downloading it and I watched it alone every night. It was summer time, and that summer was horrible, so watching SPN helped me to feel better, I mean seeing Dean alone man *Sigh* ;))
And, by the time I reached season four I was 100% addicted to the show, the boys, Cas, Bobby, everything. And dude, the end of season four, with Lucifer about to rise wooo… so cliffy I was dying. And then I went to check when the new season is going to be aired, season five, and with doing that I slipped into a big massive fandom, one hell of a crazy ass awesome fandom called 'The Supernatural Fandom' and I started talking to people through Facebook and TVloop on Facebook and wow, I was amazed I mean I was hooked on shows before but such devotion and craziness, I didn’t see before. And then, I went to pages and talked to people, and even started working on my fanfiction.
And the whole time through season five – whish I was no longer watching it alone – I got to know more people. And I was SO proud to be one of the Supernatural fans.
But, that was during season five… coz after that things totally changed.
Season five was epic, the wrap up of the whole story, the master piece of a great mind, Eric Kripke's mind.
And during this season we knew – me for the first time – that season five was the end of the show, and Kripke said he doesn’t want to do more seasons coz he ended his already planned five seasons' show. We respected that, but as fans, crazy ones too, we didn’t accept it. Not only we loved our boys too much to let go of them but we also hated that SPN with its high ratings and massive amount of fans is going to be over. And it was a riot, all over the world – I live in Egypt and my EgyWinSister were pissed too, and the network (C-bitch-W) decided to renew the show, but Eric stepped down and… Sera G. took over – then we didn’t know it was going to be shit, we thought it’s a chance for the show and us, but, it really wasn’t. Because that woman knows shit about the show.
Season six…
After the great ending of the fifth season of Supernatural, the ending that got us all sob, we were waiting on pins and needles for the sixth season, I mean season five ended in a semi cliffy way. Sam didn’t die – or was it Sam or not? Cas is back and looking super sexy, Bobby is Bobby, and Dean went to live with Slut-face, known as Lisa. So, we wanted to know what is going to happen next. With Sam, Dean, Cas, heaven and hell, or heaven mostly, everything, as a fan I was super excited and couldn’t wait until September to watch.
And season six arrived, Season 6 Episode 1 'Exile on Main Street', or, like I love to call it, THE WORSE premiere ever. So fucking disappointing. Dean was lame, Sam was plain, the freaking Campbells and bitch face Lisa. Way too many things to feel weird about the episode, plus, Dean was driving a pick up truck, while THE IMPALA <3 was in the garage :'(
Way too many people agreed on that, season six didn’t start like we wanted, or the way we used to. But hey, give it another chance, and hell we gave it another and another and another chance, I mean the whole season didn’t have but a few solid episodes, and the rest was shit. Caged Heat, Appointment in Samara, humm, and the episodes Kripke came to work on at the end, fixing the shit Sera did the whole season. And even with that, we spent half of the finale with freaking Lisa and her stupid kid (I know I hate them too much for many people's liking but suck it up, my freaking blog dude).
And not only Lisa came out of no where in the first place, but we had to deal with her, in the most ridiculous way.
The Cas episode was awesome, but it didn’t explain all. And this was the main theme in this season, nothing was fully explained, and not in Eric's way to leave us wondering in a smart way, no, it was stupidly done, meaning that something was wrong from the start, and no one cared to fix it. We had many laughs – The French Mistake, and the Old West ep, and and and, but damn, since when SPN was only for laughter? It wasn’t. We always had fun, but we shed some tears too, drama, friendship, brotherhood. And all those were factors we missed on the 6th season.
And it was the start of the shit we have to deal with now… how? I tell you.
Before, when the seasons were aired I wasn’t around, but I knew for sure that when an ep turns out bad, people go nuts and bite Eric's head off and tell him to do better next time – I've a solid source – but now, when an ep goes wrong, people say 'Humm, at least it was funny' ohhh shut up! We aren’t watching a damn sitcom; we are watching a drama show…
And now, the seventh season is being aired, and same shit is going on, and worse, not only for the show and the plot, but the fans as well. I mean it reached the point of people saying 'fuck who ever doesn’t like the new season'?? WTF is that? Since when SPN fans talk like that? With EACH OTHER. Oh, since things are shitty, and the show is way out of its normal awesome track, they are focusing on other shit and leaving the main deal… shit like who got Twitter and who didn’t? Who is pregnant and who is not? Why people treat blah how? Did you see who posted what about that or this or whatever crap? WTF guys?
Before, no one cared about images, and we all used to talk and have different opinions and no one talked like that… It was awesome, then, but now, its…
Living in denial, no one wants to admit things are batshit now, and the show is not what we used to like, hint why people are overprotective now, and why they don’t talk about the episodes like it used to be, and only focus on the outfits or who came and who left, and before when someone had an opposite opinion we used to respect it, not say 'fuck you' ladies…
Before I used to be proud of being one of the Supernatural awesome Fandom, but now, I doubt it, because this is turning into a freaking cult of a damn gathering of groupies, who cheer like idiots for whatever reason… we lost the main goal of being fans, to direct our favorite show to the best, not accept whatever they give us and jump up and down. This sucks, guys, get a fucking grip. Reconsider your reasons of being fans of this show, and stop being so damn radical. We have enough of those out there, we can't afford some more.
I want to be proud again with the fandom I joined and loved… Team Free Will!

And because you posted it here and on Facebook, i'm gonna put the exact same comment I put there!! WARNING: IF YOU ARE A "FAN OF THE LAST 2 SEASONS WELL YOU WON'T LIKE IT, AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN, CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, but you know that already. I was so gutted by season 6 I don't have it in me to give a shot to season 7 :s I mean I respect the boys and the crew, man they worked super hard all those years but the show has lost his soul and I'm not sure I want to be a witness of that, after season 6 so far I rather remember Supernatural when it was awesome, and made me jump out of my seat. How many times I jumped out of my seat in season 6...huh I'm not even sure 3 or 4 times top!! We used to google information they used in the eps to see what was from legends or holly books and what was totally made up, no offence but season 6 was no brainer! The characters are too plain, there is no depth, no content to make a character, they just come and go and Grandpa was a perfect example, it was so superficial, we didn't really get to know why he turned out to be a jerk, oh yeah to get his daughter back, he didn't even look sad at that moment but more like a spoiled brat, no depth whatsoever. At least in the past seasons, there was a point behind everything, every details even the smallest was there for a reason, and man how many times we went Wow didn't see that one coming!! and then understood why stg happened in an ep a few weeks earlier. They brought a lot on the table, but they didn't go into any of it!! I mean look at the Mother, for god's sake, she is supposed to be THE Mother and she just went poof!! And the whole war in heaven blah blah, if they wanted to move away from the angel storyline, and not have Castiel around as much as some "fans" were upset with that side of the show, well that was their ticket out but they blew it and blew it big time!! If only the "fans" could stop drooling on the boys and confuse their private lives with the show, maybe just maybe they will realise that the content of the previous seasons DOES NOT equal anything remotely close to the new seasons. I am not ashamed to say that for me Supernatural is from season1 to season5, after that it's a new show, a more like a parody of its original and a shit one at that!
